Can you explain why before that call, no one was pointing out how badly the Saints were getting screwed?
You realize how badly that hurts your argument, right? That no one agreed with you except for other Saints fans.
so troy aikmen and joe fricking buck were saints fan??
they called out the first missed DPI and they questioned the phantom timeout by rams which cost us a stop and eventually 3 points
GTFO clown

Play clock on screen is not synced up to hte official clock. Balls being snapped at :00 have been a thing forever, Saints did it, and the Rams did it during the game.
Tell that to Lester. I agree with this

They also called out plays that didn't go in the Rams favor but should have.
Careful calling people names while simultaneously making a really stupid point. Wanna try to answer the question again, this time maybe an answer that makes actual sense?
Yea, run along, the grown ups are talking.

Is that the rule that states the game can be replayed from that point after the fact? Because it would open up and set a precedent where multiple games would have be replayed every single season. You really didn't know the answer to that?
They would replay at point of contention where the error occurred. IE it would be first down at the 5.
To your last question: It’s not MY job to address how. It’s THEIR job and it IS their job because it is an ACTUAL rule.
To your second question: It implies the NFL won’t follow its own rules because they are unwilling to properly change the outcome of games to reflect accuracy.
So I respond with a question: why doesn’t the NFL want to ensure key games have an unbiased and accurate outcome?

Who is no one? Joe Buck and Troy Aikman? Yea I'm not expecting the announcers to sit there and say well Troy the Saints are getting royally fricked there. Right Joe!
I mean you're speaking in real time here. Who else are you going to hear this from?

Could you imagine being a Saints fan and having to settle for missing the Superbowl because of the worst non call of an illegal play in the history of any sport for a championship game?
Oh wait, we all can.
Oh wait, we all can.

They didn't question it, they discussed how the rule change made it difficult to tell when a TO was actually called, and they stated that the refs have been told that if it was close to grant the TO.

No one is arguing that it wasn't a missed call. Everyone agrees that it was a missed call. Some people don't agree that the missed call is a part of some larger conspiracy because, logically, there were much better opportunities to influence the game.
I agree there are better opportunities to do so. My point is the refs didn’t capitalize on them enough forcing them into the position of desperation during the 4th quarter and overtime.
You’re arugument really lays the groundwork FOR the blantant no calls at the end of the game.

You seem to not understand what a rule is. It's not a thing you only choose to abide by if it will be convenient for you.

I don't understand why you're propping them up when they pointed out calls that went against both teams, what point are you trying to make using the 2 of them?

Instead, they have a team in the super bowl that shouldn't be there.
So their biggest game of the year, probably history with tv ratings, and the most watched event in the world will be looked at by any rational fan as illegitimate.
That's why you open up Pandoras box for this one game. You reset the game at the play and then change the rules in the off-season where this never happens again.
This is the worst call in the history of the league and the black eye is so big the NFL can't even address it without an army of lawyers drawing up a statement so the language can't bring in the rule to play it again comes up

I thought it was a horrible call & I will think about it for a long long time
I do not think the game was rigged though.
I have the brain capacity to acknowledge that it is completely feasible that they just fricked it up

It's a PR decision.

Tell that to Lester. I agree with this
I was at the game and I can assure you the saints got some favorable judgements with the play clock. I noticed it at least 3x, one being in the red zone
I understand how play clock infractions are officiated. I’ve heard Blandino explain it. Their eyes have to be in 2 spots at once & sometimes the offense will get an extra second because of it. That was certainly the case.
